crispy fish tacos, mango salsa + chipotle cream

It’s fridge/freezer/store cupboard raid week here at the Harris house, and I’m trying to be inventive plus healthy with what I can find!

According to my boys this is rather like a posh fish finger sandwich but with just a little heat and gorgeous freshness from the chipotle, mango and lime juice. You can use whatever white fish fillets you like but I find thick fillets hold their chunky shape and moisture.

Panko breadcrumbs make these super crispy and I had half a packet left over, but again any breadcrumb would be fine.

Needless to say, these went down a storm with the troops and I’ll be making them again very soon! Enjoy, Mrs H x

Make the goujons by dipping the fish in seasoned flour, then into egg, then into the Panko, coating throughly. Place on the oiled oven tray.

Whilst the goujons are cooking, make the mango salsa by mixing together the salsa ingredients and season.
